  1. This is how I picture the Foundation as the rumor's swirl and the empty seats start filling up And this last part was really interesting... so if you buy next year you are no longer locked in even at that price?
  2. Ha, empty seats filling up fast from people calling the foundation. Savvy move Texas
  3. My parent's pastor got Covid late last year and died.
  4. Oldest starts Kindergarten in less than a month... not looking forward to how this unfolds.
  5. Following up on this... the last silver pack drop happened a few days ago and I've been working the auctions to try and pick up a few solid cards. Will see if these turn into something but I figure with the popularity of Prizm physical cards there has to be a little demand there. Bought a KD, Luka, Dirk and a few other rookie silver Prizms.
  6. It’s not chasing the hot stocks that’s just getting punished. Most of my portfolio is industrial, travel, tech and oil and gas. Travel might be taking a hit from delta rise but everything seems to be getting beat. My point on the S&P is that it’s holding from just one of two winning stocks. It’s not about being diversified right now. I do believe it’s still just a consolidation period after some big growth so not selling. Just looking to add more to some specific stocks.

  7. Good for you. My Giannis just sold for $375. Still thinking I’ll sell a few things and make buy a Luka 1st moment if it drops sub $1500 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Super lucky. Only 250 packs were given away because of the glitch. Did you try and participate in the drop or just qualified? Good insight on the triple double challenge. There is still good you just have to be on top of things like that. I’ll prob sell my Giannis rare moment since in the challenge since I can get almost $400 for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. It's just infuriating to look at my entire portfolio being down 2-4% each day yet I look at the Dow and it was up 50 points.
  10. Look at those tickets this morning when they went on sale... wtf $250 a seat? They are pretty proud of that Amphitheater
  11. That doesn't even make sense. Even if they only got 4000 tickets the max number of tickets you can request is 2 unless you are fairly high in terms of annual donation in which case it's 4. I would have expected that at least 1500 if not 2000 or more to at least have had the option to select them. I got the option to go into my account and select away game tix however Arkansas was not an option for me.
  12. Also, for anyone into Basketball NFTs besides TopShot; Panini launched their project a few weeks ago. Prizm silver packs on are sale now for $49 for 3 cards (only 1 silver). Base packs were $10 but sell out almost immediately.
  13. So I guess that means they only offered people in the top 3-4K in terms of Lifetime points the opportunity to buy the allocated ones? I know I did not have the option.
  14. Shill bidding and all types of shady deals now going on. I've heard of another scheme where someone will buy a $50 card for $100 then just meet the person afterwards and give them the $50 back but boosting the comp prices. You can use PSA price averages to try and avoid some of this but that's hard on newer cards that don't have a big pop report.
  15. Qualified for the 2nd priority drop in TopShot yesterday and scored a Rare pack. Ended up with a decent Giannis which looks like it's selling for a little over $300 so I can make my money back then some. I'm still trying to figure out what to consolidate in to get the best chance of long term getting my account back up to it's highs from March. But even my 1st moments and S1 stuff has died. Still thinking a dip over the off season might present a good buying opportunity.
  16. Friend of mine recently went to work for Azulado Boots. Have not tried any on but he thinks they are good. Definitely not for someone that wants a tame looking boot however.
  17. I think all tickets will be delivered electronically going forward through the app. My question is what happens when my phone dies because I came early and stayed late and therefore can't access my new digital tickets?
  18. Got my results back from ProTax (Travis) and they were able to get it lowered by 8% on the appraised value. Not going to affect the assessed but i'll take it.
  19. Schrödinger's investment account? It's both up and down
  20. Never flown but I've heard that Singapore Air and Emirates are at the top. Since they have just about taken 1st class away I've done overseas trips on AA and Qantas. DFW -> SYD on Qantas was really nice in terms of food and wine that was served. DFW - > CDG on AA Biz was pretty good compared to where they used to be.
  21. Hard to imagine that this thing can keep growing with all these mishaps. Fucking TopShot going to 0 and this Zed BS... 2018 crypto shit coins all over again.
  22. Go the same email but I just checked my address and no luck for me. I was in Wave 2 but it still crapped out for me when trying to buy. If you were Wave 3 or 4 you might have had better luck @Irieguy did you already check you address?
  23. My uneducated guess would be no if the min donation for that section/row has gone up since you last selected. I think that the impetus on the email urging us to lock in seats before prices go up.
  24. Maybe airport lacks in terms of international destinations but the food options in the airport are way better than the Chilis and Applebees that are littered at many "major" airports. Healthcare I would agree lacks but is getting better. Might actually just be because we have a younger healthier population than a Houston, Cleveland, etc. In terms of fine dining options (and Italian) Austin might be behind some but I would say there are a ton of cool options here in town. Everyone I run into from out of state that has been here would comment on the food scene. Look at the Sushi options here!! Previously mentioned was shopping and my wife says the same thing but I'm just not sure what stores you need that are not already at the domain. Plus I thought we all shop online now so window shopping does not get me hard.
